Also in my opinion,which was partially formed by what I have learned from the "experts", and what they said they would do with their own child, is in the presence of symptoms but a negative test.... I would do an antibiotic trial and see what happens with my child, an increase in napping can represent a herx in a toddler. Antibiotic trials can help support a dx with empirical evidence.
So if my child, any one of them has symptoms but negative tests I will not stop there. As we all know negative tests do not mean people don't have lyme/co infection, also mold is huge! Pediatric patients have had motor tics resolve after mold was discovered and taken care of.
In particular with my own kids bc I was infected before I had them I know they have at least a 50/50 change of also being infected so they will be screened with or without symptoms and treated with symptoms in the absence of positive tests and treated for positive tests in the absence of symptoms. I hope this makes sense to you all.
